Crystal - that's cute about the pandas ;) i assumed you had an iPod b/c of the iTunes purchases :)

VK - Goobers are chocolate-covered peanuts, while Raisinettes are chocolate-covered raisins. Crunchability is a great word. Were you born in Australia?

Well in that case I'll go for the goobers though I prefer the name raisinettes.

Yep I'm an Aussie, born and bred but now transplanted to Tokyo!

Oddly enough, we haven't purchased an ipod yet. We're dorks. :) Mostly we play the tunes on the computer, and our apartment is tiny enough that we can use that as our stereo. I'd love to have an ipod, but we never seem to want to pay for one. (though we'll spend the equivalent amount in a month on dining out...)

Bearette said…
Kitkat - Eminem?!?? You're the first one :)

Lisa - I like the way you snuck 40-year-old virgin in there. And I take it you don't like P&P???

Crystal - Pink iPods are so yummy, though. They're really worth it. But I admire you for holding out.

Vegetable personalities

At the risk that you'll all think I'm nuts...but heck. I was getting cauliflower ready for dinner and it occurred to me that vegetables have different personalities. In my mind, anyway. Zucchini: the most agreeable of vegetables. It blends in with everyone, but it's never obsequious or false to itself. Sweet potatoes: the grandmother of vegetables. Very cozy and welcoming. Cauliflower: kind of bland, devoid of personality, but it could surprise you sometimes. Like a dull guy who occasionally tells a funny joke at the water cooler. Broccoli: feisty. Like a terrier. Spinach: kind of dour, but a loyal friend. Kale: has a fierce sense of individuality, but like spinach, is a loyal friend. Kale's affections last for life. Corn: this one is kind of a party animal. Corn is still drinking beer and making a mess when you'd like to be closing up. Tomatoes: a little sloppy. The kind of vegetable that needs to be reminded to tuck its shirt into its pants. Cabbage: not invited t...

happy birthday e!

[Posted by Bearette's husband until she has Internet access] e was born today! 8 pounds even, a cute and healthy baby boy. He likes to stick out his tongue just a little, and move his mouth around. The hospital gave him a little white hat with a purple pom pom. Bearette is tired but happy. Pictures soon.

Eventful

A lot has happened today already. I went to meet D for lunch and along the way I spotted a Boston terrier -- one blue eye, one brown. I stooped to pat it and then I heard an ear-bruising screech!! Everyone's head whipped around. Even the dog jumped. A taxi had squealed to a halt and there was a delivery boy on its hood. Somebody yelled, "Call an ambulance!" The boy seemed fine, even hopping on his bike to finish his deliveries -- but everyone persuaded him to stay. I took out my cell phone but another woman was already giving details to 911. After the woman finished the call, I was satisfied that help was on its way, so I continued. There were a bunch of rubberneckers/supporters gathered around the boy, so he wasn't alone. The dog stayed too. I was shaken by this, of course, but then something amusing happened. A few blocks later, I knelt down to pat a beagle tied outside a coffee shop, and it let loose with this big mournful howl: AROOOO. Everyone smiled, including a...
